Mr. R., I got called a thread nanny earlier in the week for calling out another FReeper making ugly comments about Malia’s hair style. I let it go...meaning I didn’t ping a mod (I don’t think any of us like doing that). But do you prefer (as the mods can’t be on every thread) pings to them when things get ‘ugly?’
I hate when BOR gets his jollies with a screen cap of something ‘outrageous’ posted here. And like others I think there are ‘Trojan FReepers’ who come out, make outlandish posts just to make the site look bad.
I didn't see a response on this and considering it's about 600 post thread, I can see why. There was one thread I wasn't comfortable with, another guy and I mentioned we didn't appreciate their vernacular (his word, not mine) and I had already hit abuse and i'm sure he did too and it was pulled within a few minutes. Keep in mind, it wasn't what I'd call "racist" per se, just not quite right somehow. Point being, if it makes you feel uncomfortable, hit abuse (just don't do it every couple minutes, I've seen the mods get upset at people for that!)
I agree with the people here, let the trash speak ill of Sarah Palin and her family if they feel the need, I wouldn't do to anyone what those horrid people have done to her. But she does a great job of defending her children, I'm quite proud of her. She is a great representative of the Conservative Party. A great example to us all.
